1. What part of the water cycle uses plants to help move the water into the atmsophere?
TRANSPIRATION
2. Why do some gardens seem to have more water than other gardens on campus, when the amount of rain on the campus would be the same for all gardens?
All gardens contain different amounts of sand, silt, and clay. More sand provides drainage, while more clay and silt provide more absorption of water. Some gardens are slanted on a hill and provide better drainage. Access to plenty of sunlight will provide more evaporation and less flooding.
3. What are the three states of matter that exist during the water cycle?
Solid, liquid, and GAS
4. Do warm or cold air masses hold more water vapor? Why?
Warm because the warm air expands so it can hold more water.
